I partake in cider on occassion - but only really because I enjoy the taste, and you can't really have more than one of them, or the taste gets ruined!
I love that my friends aren't big partiers, we have dinner parties instead - we spend like six hours cooking a giant vegan feast and usually don't get eating till midnight! Now that is what I call a good night out (or in).
i wish i had friends like you!!
